Busy with travelling

I’ve been a bit busy lately, writing posts for the YCE-blog and other things.

I’ve done some travelling, visiting some friends in southern Skåne, Sweden. Tomorrow, I’m going to Prague for a PanCare conference and in May there’s a meeting in Brussels. I have lots of things to share – regarding cancer but also some photos I’ve taken. I’m making great progress in learning how to take good photos. Still, far, far away from good enough though.

Author: Erik Sturesson

My name is Erik Sturesson, I was born in Uppsala. At the age of 15, I began to experience strange symptoms – the food almost got stuck in the esophagus and I had difficulty breathing. The doctors said it was asthma, when in fact it was a tumor. After treatment, I, like 25%, of all childhood cancer survivors, got severely, chronically ill. I'm now a blogger and activist – though I'm also on sick leave and have been for ten years or so. I have precious little energy.I'm more than my illness(es) though. I'm a gamer; I've played WoW and LoL extensively, but I also more than 60 PS3 games. Currently I'm playing Forza Horizon 3 via PC. I have my gaming PC connected to the home cinema and play with an Xbox One-controller. (Not games that require precision a controller can't deliver though, like FPS-games.) My Gamertag for Xbox is HelsRikeSK. I also enjoy watching movies.After dreaming of getting a decent home cinema for ten years, I finally got one. I live at home so I could not make a dedicated room for it. As such, it's not perfect, but it IS, and is NOW. I'm a bit of a nerd, I love technology. When my health permits (sadly not very often), I love biking for exercise, owning a decent mountain bike for this purpose.
